It was so cold in Croydon, in Melbourne’s east, that even birdbaths were freezing over.
It was the coldest July in Melbourne in two decades, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
The average top temperature was 13.3C in July, the lowest mark since 1995, when it was 12.9C.
Temperatures were consistently 1C below the normal average maximum temperature across the state.
The mercury dropped as low as minus 6C in Bendigo.
Melbourne had its coldest morning in 18 years on July 19, when the mercury dropped to just 0.6C in the city.
“Ballarat experiencing one morning of -6C, and across the north of the state places like Bendigo and Seymour and Wangaratta had early morning temperatures around -5 or -6 degrees [Celsius],” said weather bureau senior forecaster Richard Carlyon.
The cool weather is expected to continue for most of this week, with more cold fronts in store for Monday and Wednesday.
